Jemmy J. Adams (commonly refered to simply as J.J.) is a New York City police detective. He's around about 30 years old with blue eyes. He studied at the Police Academy with main character Dee Laytner and has a (one-sided) crush on him from that time which is continued throughout most of the manga. They end up working together at the NYPD's 27th Precinct but are not partnered together (to Dee's relief and J.J.'s regret. Dee claims that J.J. was so insistant and annoying at the Academy that after graduation he had to move house.).
J.J. comes from a rich family. He is a good detective and an excellent sharpshoorter sniper (second only in their division to Randy 'Ryo' Maclean - Dee's partner). Prior to working at the 27th he was working exclusively as a sniper on the force for six months before being reassigned. He can also operate other techincal policing equiment such as that for performing traces. His own partner on the force is Drake Parker with whom he has a friendly enough relationship, but J.J. only has eyes for Dee and is jealous of the fact that Dee much prefers Ryo. Even so, his enthusiasim to help the object of his affection never diminishes. For quite some time J.J. makes a nuisance of himself with Dee, trying to kiss him or being in his face about being with him instead of Randy (or anyone else). This is used more for comic effect in the story than in a serious way.
J.J. is a secondary character in the manga. His most prominent roles were where, on one case, J.J. gives away Randy's heritage as part-Japanese inadvertantly putting him in danger from a killer who is targeting Japanese people and in 'Act 15' we find out more of his past. Max Fork is a friend of his from his academy days who calls J.J. 'direct and idealistic'. He turns out to be a crooked cop - changing from the good cop J.J. knew after the tragic death of Max's wife.
Some years later it is shown that J.J. finally accepts Dee is with Ryo and moves on, ending up asking (a kind of reluctant) Drake on a date.
Personality:
Idealistic and direct in general, J.J.'s personality is hyperactive, enthusiastic, upbeat and positive with a heart of gold. He has great belief and faith in people. Although he can seem air-headed, a little ditzy, naive and trusting, he does listen and is paying more attention and is more serious than people assume from his general manner - this was shown most when his former friend and crooked cop, Max Fork, betrayed him and almost killed him. He can stand up to people when it counts, even when his life is in danger as in this particular instance.

Character: Ginevra Molly Weasley Fandom: Harry Potter Character Notes: History: Ginny Weasley was born on 11th August 1981, the youngest of seven children born to Arthur and Molly and the first girl born into the Weasley family for some generations. Growing up, Ginny learned very quickly how to stand her ground and also became accustomed to the fact that the family didn't have a whole lot of money. And as soon as she was old enough to understand, she was simply desperate to attend Hogwarts - not least because as she got older, she found herself with fewer of her brothers around during term-time.
On September 1st 1992, Ginny finally got her wish and joined her siblings (save for Charlie and Bill) in going to Hogwarts. As with all of her brothers before her, she was sorted into Gryffindor. Her first year was made more difficult than anticipated for two reasons: firstly, that she had begun to develop a crush on her brother Ron's best friend - the one and only Harry Potter - and secondly, she had come into possession of an enchanted diary that turned out to be a vessel for a young Voldemort, then still going by the name Tom Riddle. Through the course of the year, Riddle possessed Ginny several times in order to open the Chamber of Secrets and unleash the basilisk that resided within. Towards the end of the school year, Riddle lured Ginny to the Chamber so that he could sacrifice her and become fully human once more. Fortunately, Harry was able to destroy the diary and Ginny was saved.
Ginny's second year was marginally less eventful, although her experiences the previous year made her more susceptible to the effects of the Dementors. She continued to crush on Harry and was unable to get past her shyness around him until the summer before her third year when, following Hermione's advice, she began to relax around Harry and let more of her true personality show. Her third year also saw her start to turn her attention to other boys, although platonically so at first - she accompanied Neville to the Yule Ball, agreeing to do so before Harry made a move to ask her. Though she was jealous over Harry's interest in Cho Chang, Ginny soon found another boy to capture her interest: Michael Corner. With her new relationship, her confidence around Harry grew - but darker times were on the way.
With Voldemort's return to power and the iron rule of new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher Dolores Umbridge, Ginny joined the secret group formed by Harry that was designed to let them learn the defensive magic Umbridge refused to teach them. It was she who came up with the name Dumbledore's Army. Her fourth year also saw Ginny join the Gryffindor Quidditch team as Seeker after Harry, Fred and George were banned. But it wasn't until her father was attacked by Voldemort's pet snake Nagini that Ginny became more involved with the fight. She and Harry bonded over the fact that they had both been possessed by Voldemort and although he tried to dissuade her, she was part of the group that went to the Ministry on what they thought was a rescue mission. The ensuing fight with the Death Eaters saw her break her ankle, but with the help of members of the Order of the Phoenix the group managed to escape. At the end of her fourth year, Ginny dumped Michael - who had been sulking since the Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw Quidditch match - and started dating Dean Thomas.
At the start of Ginny's fifth year, she was inducted into the "Slug Club", a select group chosen by new Potions teacher Horace Slughorn after he witnessed her casting her signature Bat-Bogey Hex at Zacharias Smith. She tried out for a Chaser position on the Quidditch team and easily made the roster. But her relationship with Dean was causing tensions with Ron and the siblings grew frosty toward one another, even more so once Ron started dating Lavender. But when Ron was accidentally poisoned on his birthday things improved between them and Ginny's relationship with Dean was slowly but surely falling apart. In the April of her fifth year, she finally split up with Dean and instead began spending more time with Ron and Harry. This culminated in Ginny and Harry kissing while celebrating Gryffindor's win of the Quidditch Cup. With Ron's grudging consent, the couple dated for a brief time but following a Death Eater attack on Hogwarts during which Dumbledore was killed, Harry broke things off with Ginny as he prepared to take down Voldemort once and for all.
That summer, Ginny remained at home with her mother while her father and brothers assisted in transporting Harry from the Dursleys' home. She returned to Hogwarts, now under the rule of Snape, and revived Dumbledore's Army with the help of Neville and Luna. During the Battle of Hogwarts she was initially forbidden from joining the fight, due to the fact that she was underage, and was sent to wait in the Room of Requirements. However, when it transpired that Harry needed the room to find a Horcrux, Ginny was able to join in with the fight. She was nearly killed by Bellatrix LeStrange but her mother, Molly, stepped in and saved her.
When the war was over, Ginny and Harry were free to pursue their relationship. Ginny went on to be a professional Quidditch player for the Holyhead Harpies for several years, after which she retired to start a family and became senior Quidditch correspondent for the Daily Prophet. She and Harry had three children together: James Sirius, Albus Severus, and Lily Luna.
But all of this is in this Ginny's future, as she is being brought in from the same timeline as the rest of the bb!cast.
Personality: Growing up with six brothers and as the youngest of seven children has left Ginny tough and more than able to stand up to both her friends and enemies. Though she was initially shy and withdrawn around Harry, away from her crush she is a confident, personable girl who has a wicked sense of humour and who does not cry easily. She also, however, has a wicked temper and this can lead her to be quite mean to the people who upset her.
As with her brothers, Ginny is a keen flyer and Quidditch enthusiast. She has been borrowing her brothers' brooms in secret since she was six years old, after her mother forbade her to fly. Indeed, of any of her brothers she takes most after Fred and George, with that same mischievous streak and knack for talking her way out of trouble. She also, as is fitting for a Gryffindor, incredibly brave and gets frustrated when she is treated as incapable just because she is the youngest.
As she gets older, Ginny shakes off her shyness around boys and is among the first of the main cast to start dating. As with everything else, she's not afraid to go after what she wants, though her techniques aren't always successful as her Valentine's Day poem to Harry in her first year clearly demonstrates.
Other: Ginny's Patronus, once she learns to use it, takes the form of a horse. Her "signature spell" is the Bat-Bogey hex, which she eventually becomes incredibly adept with.

History: We don't know a ton about Kato's past, but we do get a basic outline. He was born in Shanghai, China, and his parents died when he was four, after which he was placed in an orphanage. When he was twelve he ran away from the orphanage and joined his friends on the street, presumably as part of a gang, though that isn't explicitly stated.
Fast-forward to many years later, Kato's in his late 20's or early 30's and working in L.A. as a car mechanic. He does some work on a '65 Chrysler for James Reid, the owner of the newspaper and media conglomerate the Daily Sentinel, who is impressed enough with the results that he hires him on full time as his personal mechanic and coffee maker. Around this time, Reid secretly goes into collusion with D.A. Scanlon and Chudnofsky, the latter being the underground crime boss of all L.A. Kato works for several years on his cars, modifying them to have offensive capabilities.
Then Reid, unknown to his son Britt, his staff, and to Kato, decides to straighten up and stop letting Scanlon break the news. Scanlon retaliates by staging his death, and it's thought for most of the movie that Reid had died from an allergic reaction to a bee sting. After Reid dies, Britt inherits the business, but as an irresposnible, partying playboy has little interest in having anything to do with it. What does interest him is waking up and finding that his coffee tastes awful, and nowhere near as delicious as he's used to.
Britt finds out that he'd fired Kato when he'd fired the rest of his father's staff, and hires him back on again. Thus ensues a lasting broship the likes of which have not been seen since the other broship Ca and I play, Bruce and Dexter. Anyway, they bond over calling the deceased Mr. Reid a dick, and over how Kato is good at every cool skill known to man. (This is not a joke. His list of talents includes: ridiculous car modifications, martial arts, stunt driving, drawing, playing the piano, and it's implied he's a good basketball player. His one weakness is that he can't swim.) They get pretty damn drunk together, and in a fit of intoxicated brilliance, decide to get theirs back at Mr. Reid by cutting the head off the memorial statue that stands over his grave.
During this act of vandalism, Britt spies a couple getting mugged, and decides to intervene. Just as he's about to get his ass kicked, Kato saves the day with his flaming hot martial arts skills, and when they get back home they find out that they were caught on the news. The news, however, only seemed to care about their vandalization of the statue, and didn't cover their crime fighting at all. Britt convinces Kato of his brilliant idea: fight crime by posing as a fellow criminal! It would take care of so many common pesky superhero problems, and get the police after them, too. Clearly this had to happen.
Kato agrees, and forced news coverage the Daily Sentinel later, the Green Hornet is born. They decide to go after Chudnofsky, the Russian crime boss, unaware that Britt's father had been in collusion with him. To that end, when Lenore Case shows up as the temp secretary for the Daily Sentinel, Britt hires her on full time because she is hotis Cameron Diaz has a minor in criminology and can "predict" the Green Hornet's actions. In other words, she can tell them what a smart criminal would do. They follow their advice and start by busting up small time thugs and meth labs, planning to work their way to the stop of the chain.
The real conflict begins because Lenore is their Yoko. They both want to date her, and she's unimpressed by Britt's over-the-top flirtatious advances, instead being drawn to Kato's quiet understanding and clever pen tricks. She agrees to go out to dinner with Kato, but in order to keep the peace, he lies to Britt and says he's going to have drinks with a friend when he leaves to see her. During their date, Lenore reveals that mobsters frequently invite rivals to "peaceful negotiating" as a cover to kill them. Kato returns from dinner, and gets into a knock-down drag out argument with Britt over whether he's a sidekick or a full partner. TVs are destroyed, scooters are ridden into people, nasty hand gestures are made, and Kato is thrown into a pool and told to get off the property.

Character: Éowyn Fandom: The Lord of the Rings* Character Notes:
*Please note that the character's history would be mostly based from the movie versions of The Two Towers and Return of the King, although information relevant to the character which were not explicitly shown in the movie (such as the Houses of Healing moments between her and Faramir) would be taken from the book.
History: She was the daughter of Éomund and Théodwyn, who in turn was the sister of Théoden, King of Rohan. At a young age she and her brother Éomer were orphaned when their father was killed by Orcs and their mother died of grief, and King Théoden took them in and raised them as his own. Years later, and unknown to most the King had fallen under the power of Saruman and his mind further poisoned by his adviser Grima Wormtongue, rendering him more a puppet on strings than a man. When Théodred, the King's son, was brought home near death after being ambushed by Orcs bearing the mark of the White Wizard, Éomer suggested to Théoden that they needed to fight against Saruman; however this was refuted by Grima, claiming that the White Wizard was their friend and ally. Éomer accused of Grima as being a servant of Saruman, but the King's adviser was cunning and able to banish Éomer from the Kingdom of Rohan by procuring a signed order from Théoden himself.
Théodred succumbed to death, and this news was brought to the King by none other than Éowyn, who showed much sorrow when Théoden barely acknowledged her presence, much less her news. Grima approached her while she was grieving, but she shunned his advances, seemingly repulsed by him.
Gandalf, Legolas, Gimli, and Aragorn then arrived at Edoras, where Saruman's hold over Théoden was exposed and removed by Gandalf. For his treachery Grima was to be killed by none other than the King, but Aragorn intervened. Grima then left Rohan only to return to the side of his Master Saruman.
After Théodred's burial, two children who were survivors from an Orc attack at a village arrived at Edoras, and from there the King realized that the enemies were getting closer, more brutal with their advances against Rohan. Théoden decided to move his people to Helm's Deep rather than meet these attacks head on, contrary to the advise given to him by Gandalf and Aragorn. It was Théoden's belief that his army could protect the people better with Helm's Deep's impenetrable walls and strong defenses. Gandalf, not pleased with the King's decision, decided to head towards where Éomer and his men were in order to bring them back to Rohan to fight for it.
It was while preparing for their departure that Éowyn first talked to Aragorn, who was able to tame Théodred's horse with an Elf's language. Another encounter had Aragorn learning that Éowyn was skilled in using a sword, and that she feared a cage, "to stay behind bars until use and old age accept them, and all chance of valor is gone beyond recall or desire." Aragorn assured her that that would not be her fate, perhaps marking the beginning of her having strong feelings for him.
During the journey, the people of Rohan were assaulted by Orcs. Despite her desire to fight, Théoden urged her to lead the women and children to Helm's Deep, while he and the others stay to slay the enemy. Éowyn successfully brought the people to safety. Later, she found out from Gimli that Aragorn had fallen during the battle. Her expression betrayed her sadness over the event - and her joy, too, when he returned to them very much alive.
That night, the battle at Helm's Deep occurred, with Éowyn safely hidden against her wishes. Despite Grima's revelation of where Helm's Deep's weakness lay and the Orcs' subsequent exploitation of it, Théoden and the others were able to defend his people, more so when Gandalf returned along with Éomer and his men. Afterward, they were all able to safely return to Edoras.

After a car accident claimed Ema’s parents, she was raised by her much older sister, Lana. For awhile, things were great. That all changed one day when Ema was about fourteen years old. There was an award ceremony at the prosecution office, and Ema waited for it to finish in Lana’s office, which was shared between her and Detective Gant. A thunderstorm caused a power outage at about the same time, which created a perfect opportunity for a dangerous serial killer to escape questioning. Joe Darke, the serial killer, exit pursued by Neil Marshall, a prosecutor. Joe Darke tried to hide out in Lana’s office. Ema was still waiting in there. It doesn’t take a genius to add up two plus two and get trauma.
Not murder, though. Due to an unfortunate series of events, Ema, Neil, and Joe ended up unconscious on the floor. Detective Gant returned at about this point, and proceeded to solve the problem. Namely, by murdering Neil with a pointed statue and making it look like Ema did it. When Lana entered the room, Gant blackmailed her with that information and got her to re-arrange the crime scene to frame Joe Darke instead.
For two years, the true events of what would become known as SL-9 remained hidden. In the meantime, life went on. Ema repressed most of what happened to her, and picked up a liking for science. Gant got himself promoted to chief of police for catching Joe Darke. Lana got promoted to chief prosecutor, and began to act very coldly to Ema. Still, it wasn’t until the February when Ema was almost sixteen that all the hanging threads in the air started tying together.
Lana was arrested for murdering a detective, and Ema went to Phoenix Wright for help. More specifically, she went to her sister’s old friend Mia Fey for help, not realizing that she’d been dead for a few months by the time she showed up. Even so, Phoenix took the case and Ema went along with him as his assistant. He not only proved that Lana didn’t murder the detective, he also proved that Ema didn’t accidentally murder Neil Marshall all those years ago. Gant was the man behind the murders, and the blackmail, and the forged evidence plaguing the department.
Ema and Lana repaired their relationship, even though Lana served some time for her role in forging the evidence. After the cases were solved, Ema went to study forensics with a family friend in Europe. She visited Japanifornia on occasion, even pitching in to help Mr. Edgeworth once. Still, for the most part, she stayed in Europe, studying. She came back for good to take the test that’d make her an official forensic scientist.
She failed that test and ended up a detective. So much for a lifelong ambition. This, naturally, lead to a slight attitude adjustment, as well as a habit for munching on snackoos when she was frustrated. It only got worse when she was forced to work for Klavier Gavin. Not only was he more sparkly than a Twilight vampire, Klavier was the one who stripped Mr. Wright of his badge a few years ago. Needless to say, she didn’t like him very much.
When Apollo Justice started investigating his second case, Ema didn’t give him the time of day until he proved he knew Mr. Wright. That roadbump out of the way, she gave him as much assistance as scientifically possible. New devices were tested, DS styluses were abused, and snackoos were used as projectile weapons. Most importantly, Ema successfully tested numerous objects for poison in the very first case used in the Jurist System. This helped prove Kristoph Gavin guilty of murdering Drew Misham, attempting to murder Drew’s daughter, Vera, and being the source of the forged evidence that got Mr. Wright disbarred.

Character: Éomer Fandom: Lord of the Rings (mainly book canon, and I note where I pull info from the movies)
Éomer was born in the year 2991 of the Third Age of Middle-Earth in the land of Rohan, known as the Riddermark or the Mark to those who dwell there. It was also called the home of the Horse-lords, as the lives of its people were dependent on horses. Their army consisted of men all on horseback, and they had no foot soldiers. He is the son of Éomund and Théodwyn, the sister of the king, Théoden, meaning Éomer is a member of the House of Éorl, the ruling family of Rohan. He has one sister, Éowyn, who is four years younger than him. As a child his father was killed in battle with the orcs and his mother died not long after of an illness. Therefore, he and his sister moved in with their uncle the king, named Théoden, and grew up in his household in the capital, Edoras.
Nothing else is known about his childhood, but as an adult he was made Third Marshall of the Riddermark. The duties of the Third Marshall changed based on the needs of the king, but during the War of the Ring, Éomer's duty was to patrol the eastern lands of Rohan, known as the Eastfold. He was in charge of an éored, which is a company of riders. The Third Marshall's seat was at Aldburg, in an area called the Folde, which lay between Edoras and the Eastfold. Éomer's father had also been a Marshall whose seat was Aldburg. Being appointed a Third Marshall showed his place in line to the throne. The First Marshall was the King in Edoras, and the Second Marshall was the king's son and heir, Théodred, who patrolled the Westfold. As Théodred had no heir of his own, Éomer was next in line after him.
In the year 3019 of the Third Age, Théodred was killed by Saruman's forces at the Fords of Isen and Éomer became the king's heir. Not long after he met Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli in the Eastfold. Protocol demanded that he bring the travelers to Edoras as no strangers were permitted to wander openly in Rohan, but after listening to their story about their journey and their friends being captured, he made the controversial decision to let them go. He gave them horses to help them and made them promised to return the horses to Edoras, to show that Éomer had made the right choice in trusting them. By doing this he was putting his position as Third Marshall and possibly his life into their hands. In letting them go, he was going against the law of the land and his king, but doing what he hoped was right. After this meeting he reported to Edoras himself, and was imprisoned for both disobeying the king (an act of treason), and threatening the king's adviser, Gríma Wormtongue, who had great influence over the king and Rohan, and also had his eye on Éomer's sister.
At this time, Rohan was in great danger of falling to the enemy. Gríma, who was secretly working for the White Wizard, Saruman, managed to influence the king enough that his people started to suffer because of it. Orcs and Wild Men were opening coming into Rohan, killing the Rohirrim and burning their homesteads.
Once Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli came to Edoras and the king was freed from Gríma's influence, Éomer was released and swore loyalty to his king. Éomer traveled at the king's side to Helm's Deep, where he fought bravely and would have been killed had Gimli not saved him. During the battle, he and Gimli were separated from the others and feared dead, but they had managed to be pushed back by the enemy into the Glittering Caves behind Helm's Deep and survived. He then accompanied the king to Isengard and when Saruman spoke, trying to bewitch everyone's mind into trusting him, Éomer was one of the few who were strong willed enough to resist, and he reminded the king not to trust him.

Character: Tom Marvolo Riddle Fandom: Harry Potter Character Notes: History:
Lord Voldemort was born Tom Marvolo Riddle on 31st December 1926. His mother died moments after his birth and he was raised in a Muggle Orphanage. During his eleven years there, he realised how special he was. He could make the other children do things, or more accurately, do things to them. He stole things from the other children and kept them as trophies, using his ability to talk to snakes to his advantage.
Then one day, Professor Dumbledore came to visit him. He told him he was a wizard and he wouldn’t have to live in the orphanage any more. Tom jumped at the chance to leave; doing everything he was asked until he was on that train. He, like Harry, couldn’t stay at Hogwarts during the summer and so despised every summer he spent back at the orphanage.
Over the course on the next seven years, Tom Riddle became an exceptional student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but specialising in the Dark Arts. He also became a prefect as well as Head Boy, and in his fifth year, he opened the Chamber of Secrets as Salazar Slytherin’s true heir and set the Basilisk on the Muggleborns of the school. This concluded with the death of the ghost now known as Moaning Myrtle and the expulsion of Rubeus Hagrid.
Because it was then unsafe for Tom to open the Chamber again while he was at school, he created a diary and preserved himself in the pages for another day, another year, when Slytherin’s work could be completed. This turned out to be one of the seven horcruxes Harry Potter would destroy.
Despite his half-blood heritage, Tom was always looking towards perfection and pure blood status. He fashioned himself a new name as he hated his filthy Muggle father’s name. He became Lord Voldemort and knew it would be a name wizards everywhere would one day fear to speak aloud. (The letters in the name "Tom Marvolo Riddle" rearrange to spell "I am Lord Voldemort".)
While he was still at school, Tom selected a close group of friends and allies to be known as his Death Eaters while he himself used Lord Voldemort in secret. He asked Professor Slughorn for advice on Horcruxes and planned to make seven to save himself from the ultimate fate of death.
After Hogwarts, Tom asked the Headmaster of the time, Armando Dippet, if he could take up the post of Defence Against the Dark Arts Position. This was declined as Dippet deemed Tom too young and invited him to try again when he was older.
Tom then set out to find more objects to become his horcruxes. These include; Ravenclaw’s diadem, Hufflepuff’s cup and Slytherin’s ring. During this time, he worked in Borgin and Burke’s shop in Knockturn Alley.
After a few more years had passed, and Albus Dumbledore became Headmaster of Hogwarts, Tom approached him asking for the Defence Against the Dark Arts job once again. He was denied a second time and Voldemort cursed the job so that professors only stayed in that job for one year. But his trip to Hogwarts was not fruitless; this was when he hid the diadem in the Room of Requirement.
During the 1970’s, Lord Voldemort rose to power. He and his Death Eaters killed mercilessly as the Ministry of Magic tried to keep everything under control. But in 1979, Sybill Trelawney predicted the fall of Voldemort to Albus Dumbledore. Half of this was heard by Severus Snape, who then told Voldemort.
Voldemort then went after the Potters as he assumed this is who the prophecy was meaning. The Potters went into hiding but were betrayed by their friend Peter Pettigrew. Voldemort killed James first then gave Lily a chance to step aside. She refused and died trying to save her son. When Voldemort turned his wand on Harry, the curse backfired because of his mother’s love and Voldemort was left as vapour.
Tom Marvolo Riddle // Harry Potter // 2/4 {History Continued}
Voldemort fled to the Albanian forest, seeking physical form though snakes and waiting for one of his Death Eaters to find him. Then in 1991, Professor Quirrell came to Albania and Voldemort manipulated him to bring him to Hogwarts to find the Philosophers Stone. Voldemort’s face was attached to the back of Quirrell’s head and Quirrell was forced to drink unicorn blood in order to give his master strength and power.
But the search from the stone was halted by Harry Potter and Voldemort was left without a body as Quirrell died from this event. This was Harry’s first meeting with the man who had killed his parents.
In 1992, the diary Tom Riddle had created fell into the hands of Ginny Weasley who helped open the Chamber of Secrets once again. And once again, his progress was impeded by Harry Potter. Harry destroyed the diary and killed the Basilisk, leaving Voldemort without body and with Harry still alive.
In 1994, Voldemort had managed to gain a physical form but was still very weak. He was cared for by Peter Pettigrew and nursed to health by his snake Nagini, also a horcrux. With the help of Bartemius Crouch Jr and the Tri-Wizard Tournament, Voldemort managed to capture Harry Potter, kill Cedric Diggory and restore himself a full body at last. Harry survived this meeting once again, helped by Priori Incantatem. Voldemort then planned for a Second Wizarding War.
In 1995, Voldemort and his Death Eaters set about trying to find the full version of the prophecy that was made in 1979. This was stopped by none other than Harry Potter, his five friends, and several members of the Order of the Phoenix. But Voldemort wasn’t going to give up that easily. It was in this year that he realised the connection between The Boy Who Lived and himself and used it to his advantage, creating visions in Harry’s mind to lure him to the Ministry of Magic.
After the Order arrived however, so did Dumbledore. The two duelled but Voldemort fled once the Minister for Magic arrived and his cover was blown. Because of this, Voldemort started killing in broad daylight and the Dementors sided with him. All the Death Eaters in Azkaban escaped and joined back with their Lord and Voldemort established a base at Malfoy Manor.
In 1996, Draco Malfoy was made a Death Eater and was ordered to kill Albus Dumbledore. This was eventually done by Severus Snape and now even Hogwarts wasn’t safe.
In 1997, Voldemort conquered both the Ministry of Magic, using Pius Thicknesse as his pawn for the Minister, and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, implanting several Death Eaters in key postions with Severus Snape as Headmaster.
Over the next several months, Voldemort searched for the Elder Wand thinking it would break the Priori Incantatem that he and Harry Potter shared at his re-birth. He tortured and killed the wandmaker Gregorovitch and learnt that it had been stolen by a blond boy whom the wandmaker had no name for. This turned out to be Gellert Grindelwald who was now locked up in his own prison of Nurmengard. Voldemort travelled there but killed Grindelwald, gaining no information.
But Voldemort knew that Dumbledore had defeated Grindelwald, so he journeyed to Dumbledore’s tomb and stole the Elder Wand for himself.
After this, Voldemort is informed that Harry has broken into Gringotts vaults and stolen Hufflepuff’s cup. He then realises that Harry is going after his Horcruxes. He checks the places he had previously hidden them outside of Hogwarts before returning there with his army to wage a final battle.
But the Elder Wand was only working like his old wand used to, so he ordered Nagini to kill Severus Snape, assuming this would restore the mastery to him. This failed as Harry was the master at this point.
Voldemort then called an hour of armistice. Harry would come to him or he would enter the battle himself. Harry, of course, came to him and Voldemort finally cast the Killing Curse upon him. But this only killed the horcrux buried deep in the lightning scar and both wizards were knocked out

Fair warning: the following is riddled with spoilers for this very twisty show.
Character Notes: History:
The Prisoner is a sometimes surreal show set in a subconscious world where people come and go and deal with their problems within a place called "The Village". The character of 11-12 is different, however, and he discovers this as the series progresses. 11-12 was born in The Village, only son to the seeming leader. Everyone in The Village is named by a number, so 11-12 is his full name. He is the only character without an alternate in the "real" world, which means he technically can never leave his birthplace.
11-12 has a difficult time remembering his childhood and this is because, technically he never had one. Yes, there are photographs and toys and stories that his father, known as Two (2), has told him but he can't really recall anything himself. He thinks this is just his memory being fuzzy but he finds out the real reason after the arrival of a new person to his hometown of The Village. This person is called Six. The Village is a pleasant, almost fifties style place. Quaint and where everyone's life appears nice and perfect - almost. There are people called Dreamers who have visions of another place - New York. These people are often quickly shut up or disposed of - sent to a place called The Clinic for treatment for their ‘delusions’.
There is extensive surveillance in The Village and Two can watch most anybody at any time. 11-12 is aware of some of this and is actually having a clandestine affair with one of Two's spies - whom Two has out there along with many cameras. This particular spy is named 909 and is about twice 11-12's age.
Six is ranting often about another place and confronting Two. 11-12, who is often by Two's side witnesses these confrontations and ends up questioning first his father then Six. These questions lead back to his mother (M2) - who is in a coma-like sleep. Two warns 11-12 that once he knows the truth he can never go back to the way things were. He still says he wants to know. Meanwhile, Six has discovered that 909 is having an affair with 11-12 and threatens to expose it in exchange for the surveillance to stop on a girl he likes - a doctor named 313. Instead of complying to this request - which neither 909 or 11-12 can really control as Two has all the power - 11-12 decides to kill 909 instead. 909 accepts this and though they are both tearful 11-12 stabs 909 to death.
Afterwards he is very distressed, taking to staring sadly or drinking more often. Back to wondering about his mother, 11-12 steals the three pills that Two is constantly giving to her. He has 313 secretly analyse them, discovering one is a sedative, one is a hallucinogenic and the other is unknown.
Two later asks if 11-12 wants to spend a day with his mother - last and only day. He agrees and a pill is given to wake her up. She reveals that The Village actually exists in her subconscious mind. When she is awake holes appear in the Village which is why she has to be kept in an induced sleep here. The people within all exist simultaneously in the outside world - mostly in New York - but 11-12 is an exception. He was created because herself and Two were a childless couple who dearly wanted to have a child. And so she created him from her mind to be born and live in this world - and he is told he should have everything he wants here and should be content with that. He isn't, however. She also tells him that because he was born in her mind he cannot ever leave The Village.

Character: Rarity Fandom:My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
History: Our story takes place in Ponyville, a seemingly random town in the land of Equestria, where there are no humans and everything is run by talking ponies. (There are other animals as well as monsters, and some of them talk -- mainly fantasy creatures [e.g. dragons] and animals similar to ponies [e.g. cows, mules] -- but ponies basically run the show. Rarity is one such pony, a unicorn-type with the talent of beauty. Naturally, she's a fashion designer by trade, and apparently important enough to be sought out by VIPonies (though not the princess herself) for makeovers for the princess' ball and be in charge of decorations for the town's special events.
It is in preparation for one of these events that Rarity meets Twilight Sparkle, our snarkbucket heroine, and immediately gives her a free makeover because her hair was previously ruined. She decides to befriend Twilight, but the latter doesn't really want to make friends because she's more interested in some obscure prophecy that the princess is going to get kidnapped by her jealous younger sister and the world will plunge into eternal night. Which, by the way, turns out to be exactly what happens that very evening! Rarity and four other ponies who had previously met up with Twilight -- Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash -- realize that Twilight is the only one who knows what's going on because of her interest in old legends no one else has heard of, confront her, and figure out that they need to get the six Elements of Harmony to defeat Nightmare Moon and bring the world back to normal.
So they decide to go out into the creepy forest of no return towards the creepy castle of no return. Fun! Nightmare Moon sends all-purpose dark energy out to create a bunch of different trials to either split up the group or keep them from progressing, but each member of the party displays some important trait that solves their problem and lets them move on. (Rarity's, by the way, is generosity, shown when she used her magic to fix a vain sea monster's ruined mustache by giving up her own tail. Yeah.) When they get to the castle, the rest of the group is separated from Twilight, who finds five of the Elements of Harmony, tries to use them on Nightmare Moon, and fails. Nightmare Moon breaks the five Elements, but when the rest of the group catches up, Twilight realizes that they can't really be destroyed because they're represented by an element in each pony's heart. One friendship speech and glowy finishing move later, everyone gets eleventh-hour bling, Princess Celestia's back, Nightmare Moon reverts to Princess Luna and apologizes for everything she's done, Rarity grows her tail back, and Twilight realizes that friendship is awesome.
From there on, the six ponies have a bunch of random day-to-day adventures in Ponyville, never quite so earth-shattering as their first, but still quite entertaining. And they all become the best of friends. It says so right in the OP.

History: Gunn grew up on the streets on Los Angeles in a crime- and demon-infested neighborhood. He was part of a street gang that focused on trying to eliminate (or at least reduce) the amount of demons that made the town even more dangerous than it already was. They didn't tag overpasses or identify themselves by wearing identifying colors, either. Though there was a definite sense of brotherhood, it wasn't united and allied against other gangs. Just vampires. For a long time, the gang and its members were his life, and Gunn funneled every bit of energy he had and almost every cent he came by into it.
The only other thing that Gunn had any real concern with was his little sister, Alonna, who he had taken care of since they were both young. She was a perfect representation of everything that he was fighting to keep safe up until the day that she was bitten by and turned into a vampire. Years later, that is still something that bothers him, though hell if he will admit that to anyone. The realization that one gang of slightly over-zealous demon fighters in the Badlands of L.A. couldn't do everything was what finally led Gunn to working on the side with Angel and his crew.
A note - in his late teens, he was convinced that he had no future, and wasn't overly concerned by that. Believing his own life to be of little importance, he signed away his soul in exchange for a truck.
As he began to work more and more frequently with Angel Investigations (a team composed at that point of two humans and a vampire), Gunn's stark black-and-white viewpoints were drawn into question again and again. He wasn't used to moral gray areas, and he wasn't used to the existence of demons who weren't trying to eat him. Initially, he regarded work with the vampire as a paying side-job, but the gigs let him feel like he was making an actual difference when it came to fighting evil, and Gunn got a little hooked on the rush. He was jumpy and distrustful around even the most benign demons for a long time, and still often is, but he no longer has the desire to slaughter everything that isn't human. Eventually, he was integrated as an actual member of the team, not just a dude who worked for them when they needed some extra muscle.
This is his history up until the end of the second season, and if my information is correct from the current cast members at DDD, they’re at the beginning – so, the rest of this stuff will happen in-game.
History: Cassian was born to a lower class family in the mid-late 19th century, which raised him until they discovered he had a physical deformity that prevented his body from aging past the point of 12 years old. Upon discovering this, Cassian’s family sold him to a circus where he was taught to be a knife-thrower. This is where most of his upbringing occurred, however he was constantly abused by the ringmaster with a whip.
When Cassian’s an adult, still with the appearance of a young boy, the ringmaster’s girlfriend tries to seduce him. It was really a ploy put on by the ringmaster himself who was laying bets as to whether or not Cassian would fall for her. When Cassian discovers their scheme he snaps, finally having enough of being taken advantage of, and kills both the ringmaster and his girlfriend. From then on he’s hunted by the authorities and sinks deeper into a life of crime; most of his crimes involved murder and assassinations.
Delilah is a secret and corrupt organization run by Alexis Hargreaves, whose main goal is to bring his dead sister/lover back to life. After a few years, Cassian shows up on Delilah’s radar as someone who could be an asset and so agents of Delilah approach him. They tell Cassian that if he joins their group it would be possible that they could find a way to fix his condition with Delilah’s superior medical knowledge. Cassian accepts their proposal, hoping they could fix him, and becomes what is called a “Trump card”. He is placed as Doctor Jizabel Disraeli’s assistant, running errands, stealing items, and, if necessary, killing people for the doctor’s research.
At first the relationship between Cassian and the doctor is borderline hostile as Jizabel hates all humans, preferring the company of animals instead. Cassian, meanwhile, acts hostile to all who look down on him because of his size and thinks that is why Jizabel hates him. However, Cassian begins to realize he was wrong about the nature of the doctor’s animosity; he even develops an affinity for the other man that eventually grows into something stronger.
Personality: Due to Cassian’s history, he has a severe distrust of people and always expects the worst from them. He has no tolerance for those who consider themselves “higher” then others and has a total disregard for social ranking. Since he grew up in a society that turned it’s back on him, he’s really given up on the entire system, and prefers a life in the shadows.
Although it’s true he has no interest in anyone, and generally holds no respect for others, it is unfair to say Cassian is heartless. There are some cases where Cassian has been proven wrong about a person and does develop respect for them. It’s a rare occurrence, but there are times when someone will push into his heart and that person will remain extremely important to him. These people and relationships he becomes very protective of and would do anything for them.
When Cassian is faced with an issue or a problem he needs to solve, he’ll focus on it and do everything in his power to fix/solve it. However, the one thing he won’t do is ask for help. His pride is the only thing he had left to hold on to when he was rejected by society, s it still plays a big part in his actions and decisions. If he is faced with a problem he can’t solve, the only thing he’d do is ask advice, and even then only from someone who he trusts.
Other: Due to education levels for the poor in Cassian’s time, he only has a 3rd grader’s reading and writing level.
[A video feed starts, there’s a young boy with black hair looking at the screen.] What kind of book has no pages and no words? This thing’s ridiculous, I knew Delilah had some strange books, but this is just useless. [He walks away.] What do I care, anyway? It’s not like I would’ve been able to read the stupid thing.
Third Person:
Cassian looked out on the city as people finished their daily errands and headed home to their families. They all looked so normal, so safe.
He knew there was no point in watching them, he gained nothing from it, in fact, it did little else then depress him. Here were people in normal sized bodies living normal lives with their normal jobs and normal families.
That’s all he had ever wanted. But the longer he watched, and the longer he lived in his abnormal body and his abnormal life, the more he realized how overrated and boring normality and simplicity was.
The clock chimed, pulling him from his revere. He needed to go back to Delilah, back to the abnormality and chaos. Back to what he has come to expect.

Character Notes: History: Mai is a sixteen-year-old high school freshman. Her father died when she was very young and her mother died while she was in junior high. Thanks to school scholarships and part time jobs Mai is able to live on her own.
One day while telling ghosts stories with her classmates, Mai meets Kazuya Shibuya who is at the school researching paranormal activity in the old school building. She takes an instant disliking to his arrogant attitude and finds him very suspicious. The next morning she takes a peek into the old building where Shibuya’s equipment is set up. While examining a camera a nearby shelf falls on her. She is saved by Shibuya’s assistant, Lin. However Lin is hurt and sent to the hospital, and the camera is broken. In order to make up for the losses she caused, Mai is roped into working for Shibuya as his replacement assistant. After spending time working with Shibuya she notices how completely narcissistic he is and nicknames him Naru.
Soon after they are joined by Ayako (A Shinto Priestess), Hosho (A Buddhist Monk), John (A Catholic Priest) and Masako (A Celebrity Medium). All of them have been hired to solve the problems occurring in the old building before construction work can begin. While several attempts at exorcism fail, Naru brings forth the solution that the problems in the building are caused by shifts in the earth. However his theory is apparently ruined when poltergeist activity begins to show. While the majority of the group writes Naru off as incompetent, Mai finds herself believing in him. He returns not long after and tests everyone involved in the case. It turns out that most of the activity was caused by his initial theory of the earth shifting, but that some of it was also thanks to the psychic power of one of Mai’s classmates. With the case solved, Naru leaves just as the old building collapses completely. Just after Mai begins missing Naru and working with him, she receives a phone call from him, asking her to work for him on a regular basis. Mai agrees and begins working at Shibuya Psychic Reasearch or SPR.
The rest of the series follows Mai, Naru, Lin, and the other spiritualists that joined them on their first case as they solve other paranormal cases. As the cases keep cropping up it slowly becomes apparent that Mai has her own psychic powers. Her intuition is often very strong about certain things. This is because of her powers. She has a great instincts that often tell her who is truthful and who is lying. She also has dreams that lead to hints when it comes to their cases. In her dreams she often sees Naru who helps her with the clues. However, the Naru of her dreams is very kind and caring, very unlike his actual self.
[Spoilers Here] This is not covered in the anime, but in the originals novels it is revealed that the Naru in Mai’s dreams is not Naru at all. It is actually the spirit of Naru’s twin brother, Gene. While trying to contact Naru, Gene came into contact with Mai instead. The series is left rather open ended about Mai’s power and her relationship with Naru and Gene.

Character Notes: History: Megaman's history technically starts 11 years before he's created as an advanced type of AI called a Net Navi, when one Dr. Yuuichirou Hikari and his wife have twins Lan and Hub. Unfortunately, Hub died as a young child due to a heart condition, but his story didn't end there. Dr. Hikari, being a prominent Navi scientist, took his DNA and merged it with a project he'd been working on, to find new ways for Navis and their operators to bond like never before. He created Megaman, and gave him to Lan without telling him of his origins. It was their little secret.
Fast forward a few years, to where Lan was in fifth grade, and an evil net terrorism organization called WWW (World Three) was rocking the network to its core. Lan and Megaman took them on several times, but it was in the final showdown when things really heated up. Megaman faced deletion, a fate like death for a program like him, and to save him Dr. Hikari would have to use Hub's DNA inside him to merge him with Lan. He told his son of the fate of his brother (which Lan took remarkably well) and successfully saved the Navi by almost fusing his consciousness with Lan's. From this point on the two would share an incredibly close bond, even to the point of one taking damage that the other would in battle.
Over the next few months, Lan and Megaman made an inseparable team, taking on evil organizations like Nebula and Grave (both which sought to take out the world), alien Navis like Duo who threatened the network, and even WWW when they reared their ugly heads again. They fought in tournaments, created unstoppable Navi teams to protect the Net, and of course went to school and hung out with friends. Though they moved to a new city (and even took on WWW again) they have since returned home, and continue doing what they always do. Personality: Megaman is a nag. Nag nag nag nag nag. He keeps a tight rein on Lan (or attempts to, anyway) and makes sure he always gets his homework done, keep his room clean, and does his chores. It all just shows that he cares a lot for him though, and that extends to anyone else Mega cares about. He makes friends easily, keeps them forever, and is generally an easygoing guy. While he does have shadows from his past haunting him (like time spent as an evil Navi due to data corruption) he tries to not let it affect him, and he remains confident in a clutch. Other: He's an excellent battler, able to take on Navi and computer virus alike. As is his nature of being a computer program, he's also a damn good hacker, although he wouldn't do it without good reason. Lastly, since he would be a returning character if accepted, he's coming in with memories intact (which also makes him post-canon). Additional Links: http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/MegaMan.EXE

Character: Simon Bellamy Fandom: Misfits Character Notes: History: Although his age is unknown, it is assumed Simon is in his late teens based on still fitting into the "young offender" category - but he is able to legally drink and by alcohol in the U.K., so he has to be at least 18. His family situation is not known, other than the fact that he has a sister who is 12 years old. His history is only known through the little that he has described, and it is only important to finding how he became the way that he is now.
Simon used to be friends with his next door neighbor. Their friendship was courtesy at its best, and nothing more. The boys grew up, separated, and started to not talk as often. Simon's neighbor decided it would be fun to pick on Simon and tease him daily. Simon is a product of years of bullying and this has put him into the place he's at. Prior to the start of the series, this neighbor of his sent a mass text out to his "friends" and invited people to a party. Simon received one, and thinking he wanted to apologize, showed up. He bought him a drink, and then this guy basically told Simon it was a mistake and meant for another Simon.
Enraged (and filled with alcohol), Simon goes home, but he stops by the neighbors house. He throws a rag covered in gasoline and lights it. Well, the house starts to burn, and Simon hears a cat inside. He realized that the cat wasn't responsible, and takes a piss through the mail slot. Well, the guy's mother comes home to this, and Simon ends up in trouble and put in community service.
Prior to community service, due to his anger and the crime, Simon spent some time in a psychological ward where a girl named Lucy developed an obsession with him. Unable to turn down friendship, Simon was kind to her. He left with a promise of returning and visiting (he never kept this promise).
Simon started Community service with five others. On the first day the storm that changed everything happens. Simon was granted the ability to become Invisible now, as a result of the storm. And the others gain abilities as well. Their parole officer, Tony, also gains an ability. Though he doesn't really live long enough to understand.
One of the five other kids gets killed brutally by their probation worker, and Simon is the first to figure out something is wrong. He discovers his invisibility here when the others of the group don't notice him when he's speaking up about what is wrong. Well, all in all during this community service, their probation worker gets killed. Simon comes up with the plan that allows them to hide the bodies. And permanently.
Throughout the first part of the series, Simon spends his time being mocked by others there. He gains interest in Sally, the new probation worker, and at the same time is chatting with a girl online known as "Shygirl18". He steals one of Tony's credit cards and uses it to book a flight to Spain to keep the cops guessing where the now missing Tony is.
Simon develops a close friendship with her throughout this part of the series, as well as getting a crush on Sally. At one point during the series, "Shygirl18" tells Simon that he should just go for it and ask Sally out. The season ends with Simon figuring out that Sally and their former probation worker, Tony, were engaged. Sally was posing as "Shygirl18" to trick him and figure out what he and the others had done. Simon gets enraged and during everything he kills Sally. He hides her body in the Community center's freezer. Nathan, one of the other ASBO/young offenders, dies after he is rescued by Superhoodie (this is when he makes the first appearance)!

Character: Samuel "Sam" Flynn Fandom: Tron: Legacy Character Notes: History:
Sam Flynn was born to Kevin Flynn and Jordan Canas. He lost his mother at an early age, though. In 1985, he lost her to a car accident. He still had his grandparents and his father though, despite the fact that his father was quite absent for much of his young life. Kevin Flynn had been CEO of a major software / video game company called Encom, though he stepped down after Jordan was killed. That didn't really mean that Sam got to see him anymore though. Kevin still had an arcade that he owned and operated, and then there was the Grid. The digital frontier. An entire civilization inside of a computer. Sam heard stories of it again and again but the stories weren't enough. He wanted to see this place for himself. He wanted to be part of the place that seemed to be taking all of his father's time from him.
In 1989, things changed. Drastically. At Sam's grandparents one night, Kevin sat down to tell Sam one of his usual stories about the Grid. Sam had heard them all before. It was obvious in the way that he filled in all the blanks. Once the story had ended, Sam asked once again if he could see it. He wanted to go. He didn't get quite what he wanted though. Instead of a trip to the Grid, young Sam ended up getting a date with his father for the following day. He was to spend some time with his father at Kevin's arcade, playing games with him. For a seven year old boy, that was quite acceptable. Except that watching his father ride away on his Ducati that night was the last time Sam saw him.
Kevin Flynn never returned.
There were theories about just why Kevin was gone. Sam listened to none but his own, though. He didn't want to believe that his father would just up and leave him like that. He didn't want to believe that his father would run from all of his responsibilities. He didn't want to believe that his father had died, or was killed. It had already happened to his mother just four years before. It couldn't have happened to Kevin too. His father had promised him some time at the arcade, and even left him with a quarter to pay for the first round. He couldn't be gone. Despite the sometimes wild theories floating around, Sam believed that his father would be back. He had to be back. He promised.
Losing both parents at such a young age had a negative effect on him, just as it would anyone, really. He started to withdraw from everyone, his grandparents included. But at the same time, he started to act out. He got into fights at school and was often absent for no reason. It was just when he was out, though. At home, he was near to being the perfect grandson. Compliant. Respectful. Willing. Loving. Helpful. She didn't see the budding young delinquent that everyone else saw.
Things got progressively worse when his grandparents, too, passed. The number of people he could turn to was dwindling rapidly, so he mostly stopped turning to people, despite the best efforts of his godfather, Alan Bradley. Alan was Kevin's friend and coworker, and he took up the reins as Sam's surrogate father as the young Flynn's options became more limited. Sam had already closed himself off to most people though. It became even worse twice a year. Sam became much more antisocial during the months of July and September. His father disappeared in a July, and his mother was killed during a September.
As Sam grew older, his behavior didn't much improve. It actually got progressively worse. Dangerous stunts. Extreme sports. Excessive speeding on the restored Ducati that once belonged to his father, as well as what could only be described as reckless driving. He also got into vandalizing property. Graffiti. Tagging things with "89". It was the year everything changed for him, after all.
Sam eventually got into the habit of, year after year, playing a prank of some sort on Encom. It was a way to commemorate his father's disappearance some years before. Usually it had something to do with Kevin's original vision for the company. Kevin thought that the software they created should be widely available, and free for public use. Because it was his father's vision, Sam carried that with him.

He gets his powers back! ---But he also thinks bringing Ando along was a VERY BAD IDEA and leaves him. Also Stan Lee's a bus driver. He tries to get into the casino himself and fails so hard at it. It's okay though because Nathan shows up, has another bro moment, and helps him in. Hiro steals the real sword and Ando joins him again! And then to escape a ton of security guards they teleport out of there! ► And five years into a future where New York blew up. Oops. Future Hiro tells them Sylar did it. Hiro gets kidnapped by Future Matt Parkman and Future Haitian -- and saved by Future Mohinder, who gives him a half-finished comic of Hiro stabbing Sylar. And then Ando shows up! They watch Future Hiro GET KILLED OMG. And they teleport back into the present. ► They go to inform Isaac about this! But ...Isaac is dead and Sylar is in his bathroom. They decide to stalk the hell out of him and witness him accidently kill his mother. Hiro doesn't want to kill him because he was asking for forgiveness but Ando is just like "No. You're going to have to do it. DEAL WITH IT." and he freezes time to go kill Sylar with the sword. He hesitates and Sylar breaks his sword. NOW THEY GOTTA REPAIR IT.. ► He runs into Nathan again and tells him about the bomb. Nathan says it can't be stopped and that's so not cool. They go to a repair shop to fix the sword and Hiro's Dad is there! Hiro gets sword training from his dad and shares Kensei stories. Ando buys himself a sword and tries to stop Sylar himself because... he's an idiot. Hiro goes and saves him from having his neck sliced open, outwits Sylar, and teleports Ando to Yamagato. He goes back to stop Sylar alone and leaves the Kensei sword with Ando and takes Ando's sword. Also he looks badass. ► HIRO ARRIVES just as Peter is about to go KABOOM and STABS SYLAR. Yatta bitch. Peter asks Hiro to stop him from going bomb but.. friggin' Sylar flings him at a building and Hiro has to teleport out of there. ► And ends up in feudal Japan. :/ TELEPORTING NEVER WORKS RIGHT ON HEROES OKAY. He spends five episodes in feudal Japan. He learns Takezo Kensei isn't an awesome samurai warrior and is in fact a drunken British guy just using the Kensei stuff to get money. He also learns that Kensei has healing powers like Claire. The drunken part is so disappointing and he sets out on a mission to make this Kensei the one from legend. He gets Kensei to perform tasks from legend (doing some of them himself in disguise) and hooks him up with Yaeko, the sword smith’s daughter. While he's there he leaves Ando messages by putting notes in the hilt of the sword that Ando finds in the future. ► Unfortunately he ends up falling in love with Yaeko himself and can't teleport back. He ends up kissing her and Kensei sees. Feeling the ultimate betrayal, Kensei switches over to the dark side and helps the bad guys. Hiro ends up saving the day from himself, "killing Kensei" by leaving him in an explosion, and becoming the Kensei from legend himself. He tells Yaeko to tell the stories he'll learn in the future and goes back to the present.

Character: Helga Hufflepuff Fandom: Harry Potter Character Notes: I have written in her journal a history, a basic personality and notes section. I have taken the history, personality, and other bits from there.
History:Part 1 - The Ancestry Helga Hufflepuff was written to have come from the valley broad. In truth, she came from Wales. Almost a century and a half before her birth, her ancestors the Geats left their homeland. Götaland. was facing increasing invasions by both Muggle and Magical forces. The Hufflepuffs packed up their belongings and moved across the sea.
They did not move far.
The Hufflepuffs settled quite comfortably on the Isle of Anglesey where they lived for a few decades before moving again, this time trying to get away from the Viking raids. They had been there, done that and wanted to be finished with it. They moved north and eventually stayed on Holy Island. Employing both house elves and several charms, both restorative and defensive, they were able to turn a former Roman watchtower, Caer y Twr, into a very comfortable home.
For the most part, the magical family kept to themselves. Magical knowledge was written down into their family's grimmoire and passed to the next generation. In the time when there were no schools, this was how they taught their children. Everything that the owner knew, discovered and learned was recorded. When they became of age, the grimmoire was duplicated and handed over to them. Through a unique spell, what was written down in one Hufflepuff grimmoire was written down in all of them. At the time of death, their grimmoire was buried with them. By the time that Helga received hers, it contained over five centuries worth of information.
Part 2 - The Early Years Helga was born in the year nine hundred and seventy. Her parents were Eleanor and Llewellyn Hufflepuff.
Her kind nature was evident at a very early age. Often she would bring home injured animals, magical and non magical alike. Occasionally the animals weren't injured, Helga just wanted to give them a good home. It was very difficult for her to release them back into the wild but her parents always made her. There was one exception. She had once found two orphaned badger cubs. She had intended to release them once they were able but always they came back. After the fourth time, her parents accepted their presence.
Throughout her entire lifetime Helga was a doer of good deeds. It did not matter the size, it did not matter how difficult, the location did not matter nor did who the person was. If it would help and if the cause was just, Helga offered her assistance. She developed a nickname after a while, Helga the Kind.
She was charitable, accepting of others regardless of their station in life. Being kind was certainly not enough to make her the greatest witch of her age. Or was it? In an era of much violence and hardship, kindness was and still is a rare thing. It did make her stand out and people knew of her because of that. However, she wouldn't fully come into her legendary status until many years later.
With this kindness came a certain sense of naivety. Helga was an idealist and wanted to believe the best in people. Some found it endearing, others were a bit annoyed with it. It was something about her that others could take advantage of and she was deeply hurt by some betrayals. However, Helga was never taken advantage of for very long. She can only be pushed for so long before she pushed back.

Character Notes: History:Tosh was born in 1975. In 1977, she and her parents moved to Osaka to live with her grandparents; they moved back to England in 1987. She attended university and graduated with distinction when she was twenty years old, and she was promptly recruited by Lodmoor Research Facility, a government think tank run by the Ministry of Defence. However, sometime around 2003, Tosh's mother was kidnapped by a group of extremists, and they blackmailed her into stealing the plans for a sonic modulator, then building one. She did so, and was arrested by UNIT. Thrown into solitary confinement and denied all rights, Tosh spent all her time in a small holding cell, contemplating her situation and worrying about her mother.
And then, one day, Jack Harkness came to visit her. He offered her the option of working for Torchwood for a minimum of five years, and revealed to her that the plans she had stolen shouldn't have worked; she had adapted them so that the device was functional. She became the second member of Jack's team, after Suzie Costello. (Torchwood Three had been all but eliminated in 2000, when the then-head of the team killed everybody but Jack.) Owen Harper was the next to be recruited, after the death of his fiancee, and then Ianto Jones. Shortly after Owen joined, he was asked to supervise the autopsy of a space pig that had crash-landed in London, but he was suffering from a hangover, so Tosh went instead. There, she met a mysterious man in a leather jacket who just called himself "the Doctor", who revealed to her that the alien pig was, in fact, not an alien at all - and then he disappeared.
Tosh also took on the duty of waking Tommy Brockless, a World War I soldier in suspended animation, once a year for a day. She grew attached to him over time, despite the teasing of her coworkers.
Like the rest of the team, she had a tendency to take alien artefacts home to experiment with them - until Suzie went slightly mad while experimenting with a resurrection glove and threatened the entire team, then killed herself. Suzie's vacancy was filled by Gwen Cooper, a former PC.
With Gwen, the team faced several new challenges, such as Ianto's partially-converted Cyberman girlfriend, a cannibalistic series of murders, and an alien that survived on orgasmic energy. Tosh eventually met and fell in love with a woman named Mary, who gave her a pendant that granted her telepathic abilities. Though this enabled her to stop crimes before they occurred, it also allowed her to overhear the less than kind thoughts of her teammates. It turned out that Mary was an alien who wanted to use Tosh to infiltrate Torchwood; Jack persuaded Tosh that she was a threat (as it turned out that she was a wanted criminal on her own planet) and sent her into the heart of the sun.

Character: Undertaker Fandom: Kuroshitsuji
Undertaker | Kuroshitsuji | And then I found five dollars | 2/idk
Character Notes: History: Alright so. This here motherfucker, who may or may not have actually fucked his mother, god knows he’s creepy enough to possibly be That Type, is the most badass librarian ever. Even more badass than my mother, who is a fierce bitch through and through. He also likes hanging out with dead bodies (note the name/title/it could actually just straight-up be his name) and commenting on their expressions of agony. Because he is a sick fuck. The sickest of sick fucks.
Okay, so. Once upon a time, there was an old man from Nantucket this dude was a Shinigami. But only in the anime. He since retired because I’m willing to guess that he wanted to get a nice condo down in Florida. Sadly, he must’ve needed the health insurance or something, because he ended up in London working in a morgue. I’d say “poor thing” but he really. Doesn’t mind at all. So yeah, he goes and. Stuffs dead people? I don’t actually know, he just seems to talk to corpses and badtouch them. He delivers coffins and stuff too, but usually he ends up peacing the fuck out pretty quick. Granted, he’s so pale that I wouldn’t want to be outside for very long if I were him either.
So yeah. Nowadays he hangs out with dead people and goes to hang out in the Shinigami Library – they have books about movies about people’s lives there, I’m not making this shit up – to shelve stuff and make Ciel wonder why the fuck he’s there.
Also he’s evidently got some really pretty eyes.
But yeah, then Ciel comes to him for help/information about Jack the Ripper’s victims and demands payment: HE WANTS LULZ DAMN IT.
Yes, yes really, I swear to fuck, I am not making this up. He, literally, does things for the lulz.
So yeah, in order to get information from him, Ciel and Sebastian need to make him laugh. Luckily, he’s ticklish and Sebastian is a creep.
And then, he disappears for a while. Because he’s one of those characters like Birkin who’s only important in theory. But yeah, he really only shows up when Ciel needs to play detective and runs out of options and needs to get creeped on by UT which is totally what I’m callin’ him now. Personality: Creepy, but then, what else would you expert from me at this point? But no, he’s sufficiently odd. He likes being creepy because, well, people’s reactions to his behavior is hilarious.
He’s got connections with the underworld which is why he ends up being an informant for Ciel; weird, supernatural murder victims show up at his morgue and so he gets to find out a lot of things about their death that Scotland Yard wouldn’t get to know, because they’d pay him with Victoria’s cashmoney which he has no real desire for. Nope, he does his thang in exchange for a serious case of the giggles.
He’s very informal to people of a higher rank than him, probably once again for the sake of a reaction. Undertaker lives his life devoted to researching the deceased, taking out their organs and studying them. He tends to call the dead people chillin’ in his place of business his “guests” and enjoys talking to them and sharing his tea and biscuits with them. Other: tl;dr – he’s Stein without a barber or a nail file. No but seriously.

Character: Hei (Lee Shenshun) Fandom: Darker than Black (season one only so far)
Character Notes: History: Ten years ago, the stars disappeared. In their place, “fake” stars appeared, and with them came the contractors. Gifted with supernatural abilities checked only by the price they must pay for their contract, the contractors are mysterious beings governed only by rationality. Along with the contractors and the new stars, two gates appeared: “Heaven’s Gate” in South America, and “Hell’s Gate” in Japan. The contractors, endlessly rational and logical and incapable of feeling guilt, began to be used by human governments and other agencies as weapons. They were cold, ruthless assassins and Hei’s sister Pai was one of them. When fighting erupted around Heaven’s Gate, Pai was enlisted by the Syndicate to work on the front lines, and Hei joined with her, though he hated the killing. Still, he did it, and he became as ruthless as the contractors themselves, and just as feared.
Then Heaven’s Gate disappeared, along with Pai and everyone else Hei ever worked with or fought against. Hei never really knew what happened, but he knew that Amber, a Syndicate contractor he worked with extensively in South America, knew what happened. She had betrayed them, it was her fault that Pai was gone, and if Hei ever met Amber again he would get his answers and she would pay for what she did.
Five years later, Hei is now BK-201, the Black Reaper, a feared contractor with the ability to create and manipulate electrical currents, and an assassin working with the mysterious Syndicate. His unit, comprising of fellow contractor Mao, human Huang, and doll Yin, do their work based out of Tokyo, the front line to Hell’s Gate. While living in Tokyo, Hei masquerades as Chinese student Lee Shenshun, a good-natured young man who seems to get work in the most interesting places…
Personality: Hei, as a contractor, lacks emotional depth, is incapable of feeling remorse, and is completely rational in everything he does.
At lest, that’s how it should be. That’s how all the other contractors act, so Hei ought to be no different. But we learn very quickly that Hei is a very unusual contractor. He has no price to pay, when all other contractors do, he frequently is overcome with emotion (especially when any mention of his sister or Amber is made), and he is more often than not extremely irrational in his actions. When any other contractor would withdraw, surrender, or kill an innocent because they were ordered to, Hei will act more as a human would, dictated by his own emotions and irrational choices. There are several instances when Hei is cornered, and any other contractor in his position would have surrendered. He does not, and instead fights his way out and escapes, much to the confusion of other contractors encountering him.
There are also two separate cases of Hei helping people to escape despite Syndicate orders. In one, he helps a young man and the Doll he has fallen in love with escape the gang that the boy was involved with. Any other contractor would have either turned the boy in or stepped out of the situation entirely, but Hei helped because he understood what the boy was going through. Despite the Doll’s seeming lack of emotion and personality, the boy was devoted to her so much that he was willing to die for her. This struck a chord with Hei, who had joined the Syndicate despite his lack of contractor abilities so he could fight alongside his sister and protect her.
